Miss Eta Eldridge has been at home

IN mEMOKIAm.

One of the most beautiful traits of
our humanity is our remembrance of
the dead the calling up of deeds of
kindness, words of affection, and ev-
erything noble and good in the lives
of our departed.
In almost every household there is
cherished the memory of some loved
one that has gone out to return no
more; and who of us, as The shades of
night draw about us, can peacefully
and quietly go to our rest without the
tender recollection of those who have
fallen to sleep, only to waken where
partings are not known.
Ashur d. Gurley, our friend and
neighbOr, departed this life August %.
1887 in the seventy-fourth year of his
age. He was born in Rootstewn, in
this county, and his best years of
young manhood were spent there,
During the construction of the N.
Y, P. & y. r. R., in 1865 and '66, of
which he was Superintendent, he re-
sided two years in Meadville, after
which he came to Ravenna, and has
since been resident of this village.
In 1886 Mr.. Gurley married Miss
Pamela Judson, who died July 25th,
1864, leaving two daughters, now Mrs.
Esther G. Prindle, of Rootstown, O.,
and Mrs. Henrietta Wilder, of Central
City, Nebraska.
In the year 1886 he married Miss
Lydia Yontz, who is left to mourn the
loss of devoted and faithful husband.
One brother, J. o. Gurley, of Wells
vile, and Mrs. Jane Tucker, an only
sister, are the remaining survivors of
family of twelve children.
Mr.. Gurley was essentially self
made man, possessing strong intel
lect, and in the broadest sense a prac.
tical, honest, upright citizen; and no
man will be more missed in the com.
munity for his acts of benevolence and
Kindness than Ashur d. Gurley.
Some years since he united with the
M. E. Church, and was constant at.
tendant and supporter of the same
until the time of his death.
Thus briefly we record the departure
of good man; and to the wife, ,daugh-
tiers and immediate friends the sym.
pathy of the entire community ia
extended.

Unprofi able Industries.

The protected industries may be sep
arated Ir0m other industries in this
country and classed rs Improbable
industries. Those engaged in them
assert that they would De ruined If the
protective taxation should be win
drawn which enables them to get
more for their product than could
be otherwise obtained for it. Their
existence, therefore, depends upon the
Willingness OF cOnsumers TO tax them
selves III order to maintain establish
ments they could do better without.
Consumers have been led to acqui
esce In protective taxation by having
been made to uelleve that it Was but a
temporary expedient. Infant indus
tries, once fairly ON their feet, il was
alleged, would compete with one an
other, and SO reduce the price OF their
product NJ to defy foreign rivalry. A
still more c0genG argument advanced
was the assumption that SO much of
the protective taxation would 20 into
the hands of worklngmen ~ to insure
continuous high wages.
Twenty-Five years of protective ex-
perience have not brought about the
expecled results, Where goods have
been cheapened to consumers the
cheapenIng has been accomplished by
improved PROCESSES the world over
The proof 0f thls le established by the
unWiilingness of the protected inter-
ests to give up an advantage which
would be Of no nee to them ir they
should sell their product rs cheaply as
it might be obtained elsewhere. AS
protection curtaiIs foreign trade, it Ia
q positive disadvantage Co any Indus
try able to compete in the world Q
markets for share of that trade.
The failure of protection to advance
the interests Of wOrkingmen ID still
more strikingly apparent It is in the
protected Industries like coal mining,
iron making. WOODEN and cotton man
ufacturing aud the like, that the poor
est wages are paid. The working peo.
ple in these Industries are in condi.
IiOn of chronic unrest and dissaLisfac-
ton. On the contrary, there are few
strikes or strikers In the fiOurishing
industries natural to the country
which are entirely unprotected. 1t is
the protected m0nOpOlists who have
given an unnatural increase to tbs
stream of immigration by importing
cheap labor.
Would it not be well for the peonIs
Who propose to check the tide of what
they are pleased to call undesirable
and indiscriminate immigration to put
on their thinking caps and consider
the cause of the evil they deplore !?
How would it do to discontinue the
premiums we are paying for the per-
petnation of Improbable industries :?
is the country better off for the mass
of dependent labor which is necessary
to this forced, casual and unnatural
system. resting upon no better basis
than subsidiary legislation subject to
to the whim of Congress?
We respectfully commend this view
of the situai ion to the labor reformers
who are groaping over the gloomy
industrial situation. How would it
do, gentlemen, to let the nation loose
again to deal unchecked with its mag
nificent natural resources, and to de-
velop by its unrivaled inventive and
commercial energies the productive
industries in which it may excel the
rest of the werld ?-[ Philadelphia Re-

Hayes expressed disgust at the parti-

yer represents the sovereignty, for the
time being, of Pennsylvania, just as
President Cleveland does of the Uni

insult to the whole people. When
Foraker, in his afternoon speech, call
